It means that you were on the ice as a forward or defenseman when an even-strength goal was scored. If your team scores, the players on the ice at the time of the goal are a +1, if your team gave up the goal, you are -1.

In hockey, a player's +/- rating is determined by when a goal is scored at even strength (meaning neither team is on a power play). A player receiver +1 point when their team scores and -1 point when the opposing team scores.

Both the above are correct with the exception of one distinction: if you are on a power play and the opposing team gets a shorthanded goal, you get a minus.

lets say you score on your shift that's +1, if the other team scores on your shift thats -1. if neither your team or the other team scores on your shift your +/- rating is 0
